Spurs Dismantle Mavericks, Wembanyama Leads with 40
April 10, 2026 – San Antonio, TX
Victor Wembanyama erupted for 40 points, 13 rebounds and five assists as the San Antonio Spurs routed the Dallas Mavericks 139–120 on Sunday night. The performance capped a season sweep of Dallas, extending the Spurs’ dominance in the Texas rivalry.
Spurs’ precision from beyond the arc and relentless defense forced Dallas into 49 turnovers. Luka Dončić’s 28 points were not enough to stem the tide, as the Mavericks shot just 41% from the field.
The victory follows two recent meetings in February. On Feb. 5 the Spurs edged Dallas in a closely contested game, and two days later Stephon Castle recorded a career‑high triple‑double (40‑12‑12) in a 138–125 win, underscoring San Antonio’s offensive depth.
With the regular season winding down, the Spurs sit near the top of the Western Conference, while the Mavericks scramble to solidify a playoff berth. The latest result puts Dallas a game behind in the West and raises questions about its ability to contain elite talent like Wembanyama as the postseason approaches.
